日本三大霊山の1つである白山の麓にある古い街並みが残る周辺環境と、ゆったりとした敷地に惹かれた若い建主夫婦は、広い庭と開放的なリビング、ダイニング、キッチンを備えた平屋を求めた。周辺には山から流れる清らかな水源のおかげで、酒蔵や醤油、味噌、麹などの伝統的産業が今でも残り、この敷地の周りも酒蔵の建物群が取り囲む。
敷地西側の酒蔵が所有する隣地は、空地で塀がない。この敷地から見たその空地には、畑や小さな植林地がありその先に町家や山並みが見える。これを借景に、視覚的な広がりをもたせた中庭を設けるべく建物の配置を検討した。また、前面道路の喧騒から少し距離を取るため、道路に沿ってL字型に建物を配置した。建主の趣味であるキャンプの道具の出し入れを考慮し、道路側に建つ長屋門のようなガレージ（馬が二輪車に、農具がキャンプ道具に置き換わった）と、大きな妻壁をもつ母屋のようなリビング、ダイニング、キッチンが、中庭を介して見通せるような平面計画とした。
敷地周辺には、町家の軒が揃った街並みや、増改築された大きな酒蔵、近代的な事務所ビルや工場など、異なる時代や機能の建物が入り混じる。本敷地の道路を挟んだ向かいの土地は分譲住宅地になる予定で、カーポートを携えた住宅も建つだろう。この街並みを形成する多種多様な建物は、この地で暮らす人々の息づく風景として現れている。
こうした環境において、それぞれの時代、機能の建物にも解釈できるような住宅がつくれないか考えていた。結果として、増改築された町家のような屋根形状、蔵と似た屋根勾配や納まり、近代的な工業製品の外壁や部材、隣地の休遊地も自らの敷地と見なすような配置計画となった。〈北陸住居No.1〉で試みたような、あるひとつの歴史的建造物や景観的特徴を参照するのではなく、時代による変遷が混在するこの街並みをそのまま受け入れ、参与するような建築のあり方を模索した。（岡 佑亮）
A residence reflecting the transition of the cityscape
Attracted by the spacious site and the surrounding environment with its old townscape at the foot of Mt. Hakusan, one of Japan’s three most sacred mountains, the young couple sought a one-story house with a large garden and an open living, dining, and kitchen area. Thanks to the clean water source flowing from the mountains, traditional industries such as sake breweries, soy sauce, miso, and koji remain in the surrounding area, and sake brewery buildings surround this site.
The adjacent land to the west of the site, owned by a sake brewery, is vacant and has no fence. The vacant lot, as seen from the site, is surrounded by fields and a small plantation, and beyond it are townhouses and a view of the mountains. The layout of the building was studied in order to create a visually expansive courtyard with this as a borrowed landscape. In addition, to keep some distance from the bustle of the road in front of the house, the building was placed in an L-shape along the road. Considering the loading and unloading of camping equipment, which is the hobby of the owner, we designed a floor plan that allows a view through the courtyard to the garage like a row-house gate (horses have been replaced by bicycles and farming tools by camping equipment), which stands on the street side, and the living, dining, and kitchen like a main house with a large gable wall. The plan is such that the living room, dining room, and kitchen, which resemble a main house with a large gable wall, are visible through the courtyard.
The site is surrounded by a mixture of buildings of different periods and functions, including a townscape of townhouses with matching eaves, a large sake brewery that has been extended and remodeled, and modern office buildings and factories. The lot across the street from the main site is slated to become a residential subdivision, including a house with a carport. The various buildings that form the streetscape are a living manifestation of the people who live in this area.
In this environment, we wondered if it could create houses that could be interpreted in terms of buildings of different periods and functions. The result is a house with a roof shape like an enlarged machiya (townhouse), a roof slope and construction similar to a warehouse, modern industrial exterior walls and components, and a layout that treats the adjacent vacant lot as its site. Rather than referring to a single historical building or landscape feature, as was attempted in “Hokuriku Residence No.1,” the architects sought a form of architecture that would accept and participate in this townscape, which has undergone a mixture of changes over the ages.
